Icelandair and Greenlandair have expanded their collaboration with Greenland Tourism, the national tourist board, concerning flights between Reykjavik, Iceland, and Narsarsuaq, South Greenland, this summer. The agreement increases the number of available seats on aircraft by 50 percent compared to last year. In addition to this agreement, Greenland Tourism will be operating a cruise ship in the southern part of the country in the summer 1997. The agreements also stipulates that Greenland Tourism, Icelandair and Greenlandair collaborate on the marketing of the route between Narsarsuaq and Reykjavik. The goal is to increase the number of tourists coming to Greenland and increase air traffic in the West Nordic area. Last year Icelandair and Greenlandair operated this route four times a week from mid-June to mid-September using a Fokker 50 aircraft. This year the two airlines are adding a flight on Thursdays using a BAE 146 aircraft operated by Atlantic Airways. |
